God, I hope not! I cringe every time she opens her mouth on “The View.”
She was however, incredibly “honored” to introduce Gov. Sarah Palin on Sunday at a Republican rally in Florida.
But she was even more excited about being able to “talk for a full five minutes without being interrupted,” by Joy or Whoopi.
She talked about Palin’s women’s rights views: equal pay for equal work, putting an end to honor killings, aiding women exploited in the sex trade and stopping the sanctioning of the abortion of unborn daughters in other countries.
She decried the fact that “they” are “fixated on her wardrobe,” calling it a double standard and deliberately sexist. But then she turned to Palin and remarked admiringly that the governor “sure is a woman who knows how to dress,” which got some rather sexist whoops, hollers and whistles from the audience.
Hasselbeck added: “I’m most impressed by her accessories, you know, like the flag pin she wears in honor of her son and our military — men and women — fighting abroad. And they fight for our every right to be here today.”
Oh, Ok

One of Malaysia’s highest Islamic bodies has banned females from dressing or behaving like men and engaging in lesbian sex, saying it was forbidden by the religion.The National Fatwa Council late last week issued its ruling following a two-day meeting that discussed recent cases of young women apparently behaving like men and exhibiting homosexual tendencies, the state news agency Bernama reported.
Council chairman Abdul Shukor Husin told Bernama many young women admired the way men dress, behave and socialize, violating human nature and denying their femininity.
“It is unacceptable to see women who love the male lifestyle including dressing in the clothes men wear,” Abdul Shukor was quoted as saying.
“(Masculine behavior) becomes clearer when they start to have sex with someone of the same gender, that is woman and woman,” he said.
“In view of this, the National Fatwa Council which met today have decided and taken the stand that such acts are forbidden and banned,” he said.

For days, Palin has been speaking of “Tito the Builder” as another embodiment of a small business owner seeking lower taxes — in short, another “Joe the Plumber.”
I am so tired of Joe the plumber, Rita the real estate salesperson and now we have Tito the builder. What are we in kindergarten? “See Spot run, see Jane run, watch Joe the plumber on CNN.” WTF, we have got to stop the dumbing down of America.
